    1990 vs 1996 9.9hp 4 stroke cylinder head/ gasket interchange?

    I have a minty clean 1990 9.9hp Yamaha four stroke motor, in a long shaft model, recoil start. That someone destroyed the cylinder head on.

Both are 1988 35hp Mercury remote control long shaft motors. The motor that was on the boat runs but doesn't pump water, the 'parts' motor is...

    100+ outboards

    I just got asked to help cleanout the garage that belonged to a buddy of mine. The family, who don't seem to share his love of boats and old cars asked me to help empty out his back yard garage/shop. He hadn't worked in there since 2013 or so and has since passed. He used to travel to the...
